“I think to really try to expose yourself to things that you don't understand, that you're not used to, and really try to push yourself into out-of-the-box or out of your comfort zone or whatever you want to call it, but doing things that you wouldn't expect yourself to do.”

“Into the river exactly. So, you know, the language, you just feel that you're there. It's just that's what great cultural expressions can do. Again, move you into other times and other spaces and make you see the world in your perspective. It's something that we need so much of in the time that we're living in now.”

“Yeah, exactly. So there's a book on that. So I felt just like, you know, I'm just an ordinary guy, right? Because this happens to everyone. It's interesting, you know, that it's just this emotional connection that's very hard to analyze and to give a rational explanation to So I think that's one of the powers of art, really. And I think it's, I mean, if you watch good films, I mean, just going into a cinema when the lights go down and you're just being pushed or rather pulled into this world that you haven't been in, or reading a book. Well, right now, I'm actually reading a couple of classics. So I've been reading Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness. Absolutely terrible book that it's scary. It's fantastically written. The language is amazing. And you're just being sort of pulled in. To the Belgian Congo a long time ago.”

“I think it's a Mark Rothko painting, which is, I think it's sort of magic is perhaps the wrong word. But it's just paint, just colors. It's a bit blurry at the edges. And somehow it just creates this emotion, which is absolutely impossible to explain why. And I think it's to be able to create that type of feeling. And I once actually just cried in front of one of those paintings.”

“It's actually the less or the least profitable because we have to educate them for so long. No, but I think it's not, you know, because that's if you think that PhD is all about specializing in one particular subject, that then it's going to be gone. But it's not because a PhD education is actually about learning how to process large materials, big masses of data, analyzing things, putting them into new perspectives, also trying to express yourself both in writing and orally. So I think to have a researcher's mindset, because that's what you train. PhD is not about a PhD dissertation, but it's about training an individual. And that individual will be needed even more, I think, in the future.”

“I don't ever think that anything will eat anything else, first of all. I think that sort of a view of the world where one thing is sort of completely wipes out something else. I think it's always a matter of a layering, you know, things are being put on top of each other. Having said that, yes, I think it's the way that you need to be a nerd in the future needs to change. Well, I suppose to be a little bit more Sort of trying to understand the systems themselves and not sort of operate within the systems. So being understanding how the”

“AI is doing but not doing to the same extent. So it's basically trying to, how do we become even better humans as the machines are becoming better at what they're doing?”

“I think fundamentally it's about the division of labor between machines and human beings. Because machines are great at being machines. We can't beat them in being machines, but they are not human and they can't beat us in being human because it's artificial intelligence. It's not human intelligence. So I think educational institutions should really help students to develop their human intelligence. And in that is of course included to understand how AI operates and be sort of able to interact with AI, but then also developing your human skills. So developing your empathy, developing your sense making, your understanding of the world, your contextualization capabilities, your language skills, all these things that”

“And I think it poses much more fundamental questions that are about knowledge in itself. So what is the university to do when it's got a student for three years or sometimes even five years? What should you learn? What's the purpose of it all?”

“Rode changes. It already has. I mean, in every way. But fundamentally, we know that cognitively, the artificial intelligence actually outperforms us quite a bit. So it really changes. And all over the world, university or educators are now trying to understand and think hard about how do we actually secure learning? Can we do the same type of tests that we used to do? Can we do take-home exams? Do we need to pull out the plug and not let them use their computers? Should we only do handwriting? Should we only do oral exams, et cetera? But it's kind of futile, all this because fundamentally, I mean, generative AI and AI is here to stay. Our students don't even use Google anymore, right? They use generative AI.”

“I think they can learn a lot, of course. I mean, they can learn so much everything in terms of motivation and focus and sort of all the things that sports psychology has got. There is a huge difference, though. It's that it's more clear usually in sports what the goal is exactly what it is that you are to do, right? I mean, if you know that you are to jump over this bar that's right here. So it's very the mission is very clear. It's not as clear being a business leader because things can change quite a bit.”

“Yeah, you know, the sports psychology, et cetera, all these things actually matter because human beings consist of flesh and blood, and they have a mind which is remarkable and also sort of an interest in things that are beyond science too and in a way poetry, art, religion, etc. So these are things just viewing the human being for everything that it is. I think that's what an educational institution should do. Great schools do that. I mean, you couldn't imagine Oxford or Cambridge without the rowing or some of the US universities without their teams and their.”

“I think it's basically a good education program or institution recognizes that education is not just about the mind, but it's about mind, body, and soul. So it's sort of three things going on at the same time. And also the fact that machines, they do not have any bodies. They're lousy at sports. I mean, ChatGPT, you will beat it on the racetrack anytime, right? So it says it doesn't have bodies. but humans do. And actually developing sort of your bodily functions in a way is something that's really important. I mean, we know your cognitive skills develop quite a bit through physical exercise, right? It's a connection. And of course, all these things that are about the human body that you were describing.”

“Well, I think I say that in the book, I say that you should study business, but that's not enough. You have to sort of open your mind as well, right? I mean, I love the business school that I'm heading, of course. And I think the subjects we need are extremely important because they are ways of understanding the world. But it's all about, again, really sort of expanding the blinders that we have. I mean, every type of education is specialized, right? So it's a bit like watching the sky through a straw. And you need to have many straws nowadays in order to understand the world that we're living in.”

“Look very different. So I think it's basically everything is telling stories, right? I mean, everything that you're exposed to, every aesthetic expression is actually a story. I think it's also even more important in this very digital world to work with physical artifacts of different kind that you can feel stuff and be part of something. I mean, the short answer is that I don't think any organization can be successful if it doesn't communicate what it does in a meaningful way.”

“I think in everything that we do because stories are actually just a way of gathering and arranging meaning in a way. So, I mean, bringing together things that, like in our case, ambition, right? Saying, I mean, you can do two things. You can either say, come to our school, study and learn to how to get a job or you can actually support yourself and perhaps be rich in the long run. That's one way of sort of speaking about what we're doing. The other way is to say counter our school, be inspired, learn to sort of change the world, learn that this is a place where you can actually develop. It's where we have higher ambitions of different kind. And it's also a place where you can really feel that the future can be...”

“Academic models. So seniority or titles or things like that shouldn't matter. And that's, I think that could be something that's quite visible in Swedish leadership. Flat hierarchies, listening to people, very informal that it is possible for anybody to actually call anybody. And I think that sort of, we see it actually. A lot of German students especially. Come to our school because this is how they've perceived the Swedish model. It's highly attractive. I mean, if you want to start a company, for instance, it creates sort of an entrepreneurial spirit, I think.”

“Yes, I do think so, even though it's hard to speak of those in terms of culture specificities, but for sure, I mean, it's something in the a hierarchical idea that it is flat that you actually listen to what others are saying, that you don't have the sort of traditional standing on a mountain and pointing in one direction, but being close to others. It's actually quite an academic model in the sense, in the old sense of the word, where Plato was walking together with his disciples. And what was important to him was that everybody, you know, every argument counts. It doesn't matter seniority doesn't matter. And it's only the argument in itself that matters. So that's what Plato said.”

“Energy comes, I mean, it's from inspiration. So different leaders find their energy in different ways, of course. But I think if you do not feel energetic, that means that you don't, I mean, love is perhaps a strong word in this sense, but I think it's actually good. If you don't love what you're doing, if you don't believe in what you're doing yourself, you will not get that type of energy. No, I think it's interesting.”

“Walks by and asks, What are you doing? Well, I'm banging on a stone. And then he asks another one doing the same thing. And then he says, well, I'm building a cathedral, right? So those, I mean, it's an old sort of. Saying, but I think it's a lot of truth in that, that you see what you're actually part of. And then I think energy too, right? I mean, to be in a place where things happen, where you feel that you're part of something that's moving, you know, people love being part of that because, I mean, I think we've all experienced workplaces or different types of places where you just feel at the energy level is low.”

“I think it's, I mean, if you were really condensing it to a couple of terms, I would say authenticity. I mean, that you actually believe that what they're saying is what they think. And that's not the same thing as not lying, Notabene, right? But actually being authentic in what you want to do and that people feel that this it matters to you, that you're not playing a game, that you're not sort of politically correct, whatever that means, but sort of that it's your true self speaking than being there. I think that's absolutely key. I also think, I mean, being able to create a sense of meaning, you know, to make people understand and feel that they're part of something that's greater than themselves, that they're building something, you know, that old anecdote where this man is sitting and banging on a stone and then somebody asks.”

“Why Because let's say, I mean, we are culturally and sort of historically we are tightly knitted together. And still, we are in peace. And I think that's something we have to work really hard to keep. And if we sort of join forces even more, I think we, of course, will become much more powerful, really. So, I also think right now it's sort of, we don't have too much self-confidence being European. We constantly hear about how Europe is lagging behind and Asia and the US and China especially are moving especially in artificial intelligence and technology are moving When it comes to self confidence while Europeans”

“CEO of Daimler, Mercedes, and his German is absolutely perfect. He would never have gotten that job, I mean, in the German automotive industry, if he didn't speak German. So it's a way of opening your career possibilities. That, for one thing, but even more than that, it's a way of understanding culture, understanding history, and sort of understanding why a particular culture and country looks the way it does and how it actually operates. There is no real sort of True understanding of a culture if you don't speak that language.”

“We are now discussing to sort of reintroduce languages. Especially if you're a European business school, we used to have much more focus. I mean, in the old days when the school started, it was German, then it was Russian. And then we have English and German and Spanish, et cetera. But now English, or broken English, has become the lingua franca of the world And I think it's time actually to, I mean, if you're a European business school, if you speak other languages, and especially the European ones, it's really a way of understanding a particular culture. One of the most prominent alumni from our school is Ola Chilanios here.”

“No, but I say that you have to try to make the years that you have at your disposal for a bachelor or a master's program. You have to work like crazy in order to make those years as knowledge intensive as possible. And I don't think all educational institutions actually try hard enough to make their environments knowledge intensive, but they sort of settle for the academic knowledge. They settle for what Aristotle called episteme, the type of knowledge that you can study and then have an exam on.”

“I think that would be great too. And I mean, we do have that. I mean, a lot of our organizational theory courses are, you know, you've got social psychology, et cetera, into that. And then, of course, I mean, you can't study everything either, right?”

“Yes, I definitely think so. I mean, in the old days, you studied and then the type of knowledge that you had served, what you wanted to do quite well. It doesn't anymore because you really have to be able to shift perspective constantly, constantly seek for new facts, constantly reflect and constantly try to put yourself into somebody else's clothes. I think that's it's always been important, but it's even more important now because it's, I mean, the situation in the world is changing so drastically and so quickly.”

“Get donations. We constantly need that. And I think that's part of the model too. We want to engage people who believe in the knowledge form, actually, and who understand the importance of art.

“Actually, fun because we've been named in the Financial Times. They write about us as if we're an art institution in the national press. We're considered to be one of the most, or actually the most interesting art institution in the country, which is, you know, it's a bit over the top, I guess, to say, but it's funny.”

“Okay, so our school has never been more selective than it is now. Our students get the jobs that they want and they get it really, really quickly. The faculty members who apply to our job openings are more than ever. The number of corporations that sponsor us has increased too. So basically all our KPIs are increasing. And thereby, I mean, I'm at an academic institution, so you shouldn't confuse correlation with causality, but we do know that it's a lot of correlation since we started with all this. All the KPIs are pointing in the right direction, but we can't really show and prove the causality.”

“Yes, we do. I think it's really hard, and also especially when you're into cultural expressions, because it's sort of hard to sort of measure how much empathy and how much learning did you get from going to the Louvre and see the Mona Lisa? How many kilos of empathy did you gain from that, right? It's hard. But we can do it through different types of surveys, a lot of self-appreciation on how much more free are you actually. That's one way of doing it, but it doesn't really do the job. But we more use proxies in a way to say that”

“One could argue that then you could say that's completely wrong, because they're not going to be out of tune with the rest of the world. It's actually a way of making them understand the world much better. For instance, empathy is one of those ideas. And I mean, saying that future decision makers should not have that type of mindset. That's really to sort of give in. If you're in to education and if you're educating the future leaders and decision makers, you of course have to be ambitious. You have to make them understand the world even more and turn them into much more of human beings. Because if you don't, they won't be able to actually do the job that they have to do.”

“And then the first E stands for empathetic and culturally literate. And that's sort of why we use the art in order to create this or enhance your empathy and your cultural literacy. And then it finally stands for entrepreneurial and responsible, which means that you actually do something. You have agency. So this abbreviation free, that is our definition of Bilnum. So, if you have that approach, if you go into the world being fact-based, reflective, empathetic, and entrepreneurial, it's sort of a vaccination to getting stuck in mental models and theories that used to be true, but perhaps no longer are. So thereby it's sort of an approach to ensure some kind of lifelong learning. And that's exactly what you need in this world that's changing so quickly.”

“Well, it does because what we do is to try to have an educational mission that we abbreviate as free, F-R-E. And the F stands for Fact and Science-Based Approach, completely key in this world, right? Especially in the age of generative AI, when truths are not what they used to be because they can now be fabricated and you cannot believe your eyes or your ears anymore. So we're leaving in some kind of ontological crisis where you don't know that what you see actually exists. So practicing that, your fact and science-based mindset is key. And then the R stands for reflective and self-aware. So sort of asking yourself, you know, where does this piece of data come from? Who benefits from this? And where do my attitudes, my opinions, and even my feelings come from? Are they my own or are they produced by somebody else and then internalized by me? So I think they're my own. Important things to do, right?”

“Well, building one definition of that, Bildung is that which is left after you've forgotten what you've learned. So that means that what you've forgotten, what you've learned, I mean, we all do that. We forget lots of things, right? What years things happened, et cetera. But what's left is an approach to the world and a stance to the world and a way that you approach it. So it's sort of a position more than a goal.”

“Yeah, exactly. So abstraction, I mean, it's basically about getting as much information as possible into some other shape and form, right? So it should be, you know, if you take an annual report, the idea is to show so much as you can of a company in a few pages, in a few tables, in a few images.”

“So then you can speak about abstractions because all that higher education is about is actually abstractions. So if you have a profit and loss statement, that's surely an abstraction of something more real in a way. So using theories, using models, understanding the world from another perspective is all about abstractions. And then you can speak about the connection between measuring and abstractions and then trying to understand what abstract thinking is all about. And just sort of thinking, reflecting on the very idea of the abstract is something that a higher education institution definitely should do, I think.”

“So basically, you can have conversations about quantification, the quantifiable world, and what numbers and figures actually do to you. Things like that which is not counted does not count, etc. These things that we have our KPIs, et cetera, in order to prescribe action of different kinds through numbers. And then also you see that the shape of the way that these measurement instruments are assembled is in an abstract form. It's basically an abstract pattern.”

“Then you go into a classroom We can start in one that's designed by Jacob Dahlgren and he's one of Sweden's most well-known artists. He's been at the Venice Biennale, etc. And what you see is that the walls are full of patterns. So basically looks, you know, it's stripes and squares and different types of curves. Then if you look closely, you see that they are made up of first of all school material like pens and pencils. And also they are made up by measurement instruments like rulers and different types of measurement instruments. And they just form a pattern. So it sort of makes you think, or I mean, it's a clear comment on that everything we do at this academic institution is based on measuring the world, right? That's what researchers do. They quantify it.”

“Yeah, absolutely. I think it's, I mean, our entire environment is now packed with art. I mean, you can't walk one single foot or a meter without being exposed to an artwork. And also, I think the development of our business lab, our incubator, it's now one of Europe's most successful ones. And I mean, being in that type of environment sort of just sparks your willingness to live really, right? I mean, it's sort of a more interesting place. It also, I don't think we should underestimate the fact that conversation starters. It's also just something more pleasant and that it's fun. You know, it can actually be fun. If you have a wall that's completely empty, Or you have a wall where there's something, a work of art of some kind, something human made. And if it can spark your imagination or sort of makes you tick somehow.”

“Because creativity is basically all about combining things that are usually well known, but in new ways. So if you sort of open the freeways that you have in your brain and in your connections to others, it's more probable that you come up with new things. If you just walk on the track that you've always been walking on, you won't come up with new ideas. But if you are exposed to and sort of urged to see the world in new ways, it creates something new.”
